## Ranking algorithm

Each business is scored on a 0–1 scale across four signals, weighted:

- **Review rating** (Bayesian-smoothed) — 40%
- **Review volume** (log-scaled to dampen outliers) — 30%
- **Proximity** to user's zip — 20%
- **Category fit** (primary + secondary categories) — 10%

Final score = `0.4·rating + 0.3·volume + 0.2·proximity + 0.1·fit`. Top 3 by score are featured at the top of every zip × category page. The full ranked list follows.
